On June 7th, the Council met for an eye-opening tour of the Crooked Creek Recreation Area in north Petroleum County. The site is situated on the furthest upstream reach of the reservoir created by the Fort Peck Dam. Currently, the reservoir water level is about 28 feet below normal. Where once there was a reservoir and an economic opportunity, now there are only weeds. During our tour, Petroleum County Weed Supervisor Clint Clark discovered Saltcedar growing in the now-empty reservoir bed.
